    Instead of actually drawing the villain in panel one, it appears Locher just copied and pasted the Insane Clown Posse logo. Here it is if you’re not familiar with it:

    Now that Johnny Nothing has smashed the window, he can shoot Tracy! I wonder if Liz and Sam will come to the rescue or are they still waiting for the show to resume?

    Good morning Dick Tracy fans….Of some sort..

    I see Blank has the axe in both hands and has put a hole in the glass. I must say the terror on Tracy’s face is well drawn. (That is most unusual).

    Yesterday, the plane’s starboard horizontal stabilizer was about twice as long as the one on the port side.

    Today they’re the same size, but the vertical stabilizer has grown considerably.

    HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET!!!????

    Yesterday the canopy was open. Today it’s closed.

    Panel 3: Tracy’s head already looks like it’s decapitated, stuck on the dashboard.

    Shouldn’t he be squinting with all that flying glass? At least putting up a hand to shield his eyes.

    Like Vista Bill pointed out, why smash open the window when Johnny Nothing has a gun? Bullet-proof glass? Then if that’s the case, then WHY WOULD A CLUMSILY WIELDED AX BREAK THE GLASS??? And Tracy didn’t hear or see JB coming?

    And why hide in such a confined space with no way of escaping? Tracy could have kept playing peek-a-boo among the giant “vibrators.”

    Meanwhile there’s body lying on the stage, bleeding all over the frakking place, Anja Nu hasn’t witnessed JB trying to kill Tracy while searching all over, the police chief with her slow-firing synapses is on the verge of thinking there might be a problem–

    HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET!!!????

    That last sentence is excellent sarcasm. “Wits?”

    And I flagged the spammer. What is it with Go Comics that it can bleeep me over a minor word but let the spammers go wild? I clicked on the spammer’s profile: 58 hits all over this site. Instead of screwing around with a Net Nanny for “naughty” words, Go Comics should have a program that spots the same message being pasted all over at the same time. But nnnoooooooo — Gad bleeep words are more of a nuisance.

    The sun will set, the sun will rise On the one we’ve come to despise From day to day and night to night We are treated to this comic blight What can you say about this strip Other than that Locher is a dip The destruction of the fabled dick Has wounded us to the quick Once a man of action and decision Each day now, he’s met with derision We ask “well can it get any worse” Yes it can, time to queue up the hearse We laugh at the wrong times, cry when we should not The strip has become nothing but a bunch of tommyrot So I’ll see you here on the ‘morrow Where we can express our deepest sorrow.

    Bullet -proof? I wouldn’t think so, more likely very thick glass or plexiglass. Not likely to shatter like that with just an axe blow.

    I do wonder, though, how Tracy was able to get the canopy open to get in when the entire plane seems to be suspended from a pole attached to only the canopy.

    I guess another question would be where did that axe come from? Fire axe? Not shaped like any fire axe I’ve ever seen in buildings or that we have on our trucks. Actually a fire axe might have done a better job of breaking the canopy out, using the ripper point on the back side of the axe.

    Hey, everybody, this is fun! When Annie was cancelled, I was sort of at a loss as to what forum I could go to for fun. Brenda Starr is OK, as well as Gasoline Alley. But the comments section here is funnier than all the comics on this site put together.

    Just which way is Tracy facing in the plane? Johnny Nothing jumps onto the rear of the plane in panel 1, but by panel 3 he seems to be hacking away at the front of the canopy… unless Tracy’s in a rear-facing seat (I don’t immediately recall any WWII fighters with a tail gunner seat, but perhaps somebody else remembers one).

    BTW, if Johnny is hacking at the front of the canopy, it most likely is bulletproof glass between 1/2 and 1 inch thick. Much too strong to be shattered by a fire axe.

    Since Johnny has both hands on the axe, where is his gun? With the plane suspended by one rod holding a thinner canopy strut, anyone jumping on the plane, as both of these morons have done, would send the plane into spinning. I have been following this strip for only 6 months. I can’t believe that it continues to get worse. Why? If Locher is writing it, has he gone completely demented? If Brozman is doing the “artwork” doesn’t he care about the reputation he is getting for work that any 6 year old could do better? If Locher is doing the “art” is Brozman getting paid for Nothing? Don’t any of the TMS people care? Inquiring minds want to know.

    akenta…….In a way, this is much like a real election, In a real election the polititions get to vote. I would thyink they’d vote for themselves but they do get to vote. In the present case i expected a lot of “I’m voting for mine”. As I have remarked earlier, I think most of them just wanted to show their cleverness. Some did it in vain. :-))

    Thank you for your vote.

    And, as The Blank smashed out the canopy, a certain noxious smell escaped the cockpit much like a rupture in an ammonia tank, and knocked the breath out of the pursuer, causing him to drop the axe, drop the pistol, slip down on the metallic skin of the Ju-87 Stuka, and fall to the floor below, as he crushed part of the audience that was sneaking out the back door. Chief Liz(z) slaps a set of cuffs on him (her favorite cuffs that she had plans for later that night), and arrests him, reading him his Miranda rights. Next story, please!

    As an experienced camper,(no tent, no Coleman lantern or heater. I am also an experienced woodsman and lumberjack. In all that time I have never ever seen an axe with the handle around trhe axe blade. Except, of course, in those caveman movies and comics (see Alley Oop).
